How to hide certain divs by clicking a button?

Question

I'm looking for a way to hide a certain number of divs by using the button onclick event.

I know it might have something to do with .toggleClass('.AddCSSClassHere') but I'm not really sure... I can hide/show a div but not the one in the parent div specific div. jquery comes from a code snippet I wanted to use earlier. All divs with hidethis class "" need to be shown or hidden when clicking the "Show Columns" button

$('button').click(function() {
  $(this).siblings('div').toggleClass('hidethis ');
});

You need to go one level up to find the target element as a sibling. Indenting the content of block-level elements helps with better visualization.

If you want to toggle all such elements in all containers, you need to introduce a new class to track them when they are removed, or select them all and use the element list. p>

$(function() {
  const elsToToggle = $('.hidethis');

  $('.show-this-data').click(function() {
    $(this).parent().siblings('div').toggleClass('hidethis ');
  });

  $('.show-all-data').click(function() {
    elsToToggle.toggleClass('hidethis');
  });
});
